Rosny-Rail

Rosny-Rail is a railway museum located in the basement of Rosny-sous-Bois train station, displaying authentic railroad equipment and scale models spanning different periods. The collection includes track signals, historic ticketing systems, and a restored signal box from the Paris-Clermont Ferrand rail line.

The museum was established in 1997 and focuses on gathering railway signals spanning multiple eras. A rare PLM checkered signal from the 1860s forms a key part of the collection, showing how railway technology developed.

The entrance recreates a 1930s countryside train station with wooden ticket counters and waiting rooms featuring coal stoves. Visitors can observe period luggage and travel items that show how rail journeys felt in that era.

The museum sits inside the train station building itself, making it easy to reach if arriving by rail. The space features level access and compact rooms that can be explored without extensive walking.

Visitors can operate a train simulator on a miniature network to gain hands-on experience with historical railway technology. This interactive element offers insight into how railway operators once performed their duties.
